Using terminator with cygwin

[zweiund40]

Hi all,

I've got a question and I hope u can help there. I guess the question 
may be a bit silly for some of u, but, u know, I'm not an expert. I want 
to use terminator with cygwin and was excited when I found it as package 
listed in the setup.exe, So, I installed it and since there was no 
terminator.exe to be found I tried "terminator" on the command line, but 
it didn't work. Error-message is rather confusing:

$ terminator
   File "/usr/bin/terminator", line 119
     except (KeyError,ValueError), ex:
                                 ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


What am I doing wrong? I think I didn't understand something very basal.

Thank you
